DRAWING UP THE QUERY

In order to request us an estimate, fill the on-line form in the home page. Sending your query will not imply, for you, the undertaking of any obligation.

While filling the said form, please pay attention and be careful to how you complete the field “query”. The said field shall be used to state which is your legal problem, and what kind of solution you are looking for.
Stating the said details in the right way is fundamental. It will allow our consultant to interpret correctly your exigencies, and to provide you with a service that will fully meet your expectations.

SOME SUGGESTIONS TO FILL THE FIELD “QUERY” CORRECTLY

A) WRITE FOR SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT ALREADY KNOW YOUR SITUATION
Our consultants cannot know neither you, nor the legal problem that is affecting you. All they know is what you have communicated them, filling the field “query”.
It is therefore useful that, once you have written your legal problem and the solution you are looking for, you stop and read everything again, trying to adopt the point of view of an outer person, not aware of your situation. Make yourself sure that an outer person can understand exactly and fully your situation in its complexity, from what you have written.

B) STATE ONLY THE FACTS AND ALL THE FACTS
Every reliable legal work starts from the facts, from the situation as it is at the moment (and, eventually, from the one that you would like to realize).
Therefore, please, be so kind as to state in the query all the facts regarding your legal situation (those actually existing and those that you wish to realize). Report them in their completeness.
When you ask for a legal help, as well as when you go to your doctor, you shall not have any discretion or reticence in explaining your situation. Any hidden piece of information might produce a damage to you, making our consultant give you an advice, an opinion or an act that is not the best one to achieve your best interest.

C) BE ACCURATE
For the law, also small differences can make a great difference. Stating your problem, it is therefore very important that you pay the greatest attention to report all the fact exactly as they are, without changing them in any way, not even to make them simpler, or to make easier the understanding of the query. Our consultant are accustomed to complexity. Your query, however complex it might be, will not trouble them. In any case, should they have any doubt, you will be contacted to obtain a clarification or further details.

D) REPORT ALL THE DETAILS
We already said it, for the law any detail is important and can make a great difference. Filling the query, report all the details you know regarding the existing situation. Also state all the details of the result you wish to obtain.
This will allow our consultants to fully understand the legal profiles of your situation, and to act so to assure you a service that will grant you, as far as possible, exactly the expected result.

HEREAFTER YOU WILL FIND SOME EXAMPLES OF QUERIES, STATED IN THE WRONG AND IN THE RIGHT WAY.

The building management says that I cannot park my car in the courtyard.
Is it true?

A query formulated in this way does not consider that the consultant does not know the situation of who is writing. Therefore he is not able to understand which is exactly the problem that is submitted to him, and, consequently, he is not able to give a precise and exact answer, but only a generic response on the forbidding power of a building manager and of the owners assembly regarding the car parking in the condominium areas.

I am the owner of a flat in a joint ownership of a building. Among the communal parts there is a large courtyard facing the building, where, for a consolidated tradition, the joint owners have always parked their cars. Recently the building management told me that it was not possible anymore to park any car in the said area. But the owner assembly never deliberated in respect of the said matter, nor new facts have happened that might have changed the previous situation, which might justify such prohibition. Can the building management forbid the car parking to the joint-owners in the said area?

A query formulated in this way allows the consultant to understand exactly which is the situation troubling who is writing, and, therefore, allows him to give a more specific advice, modelled upon the real situation and upon the client’s exigencies.

I let a flat in 2001.
Last week I have received a letter from the landlord’s solicitor, in which he communicated me that the letting contract shall be considered cancelled and enjoined me to leave the flat. But this is illegal and unjust.
I need that one of your consultants (a solicitor) writes to the landlord lawyer to challenge his letter and to inform him that I have no intention to live my home.

Who is writing, for shame, does not say either that he is late with the payment of the rent, or that the letting contract has a cancellation clause in virtue of which the delay in paying even only one rent instalment involves the automatic cancellation of the contract.
The consultant, on the base of the received pieces of information, will probably prepare a warning letter that, in this specific case, is not the most suitable act to protect the client.
Moreover who is writing dwell on the unjustness and illegality of the counterpart’s behaviour, taking away the (limited) space on the on-line form to other useful details he could have given to the consultant in order to allow him to understand better the situation and to provide a more useful assistance.

In 2001 I have signed a home letting contract (4 years + 4 years), agreeing the (advanced) payment of a rent of EURO 1.000 per month within the 5th day of each month, by means of a bank transfer.
Until last month I have always paid the rent punctually. This month, being abroad, I have not been able to pay the rent but with a 15 days delay.
Last week I have received a letter from the landlord’s solicitor where it is said “… this letter to notify you the intention of my client to make use of the cancellation clause stated in art. 5 of the letting contract you have signed. […] You are therefore requested to leave the said premises immediately.”
“Art. 5 of the contract says: “this contract shall be considered cancelled according to art. 1456 c.c., should the tenant omit to pay even just one monthly instalment of the rent within the stated term.
I need that you write to the landlord or to his solicitor to challenge (where possible) his request, and, in any case, to let me stay in the said flat.
The name of the landlord is XXXXXXXXXXXX, address XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The name of the solicitor is XXXXXXXXXXXX, address XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The query, formulated in this way, allows our consultant to know completely the situation and to act in order to protect the clients as well as possible.

I have been employed with a temporary labour contract. I have always fulfilled all my working duties, starting to work always punctually, and carrying out all my shifts, never being absent from work due to illness or other reasons, performing all the assignments and tasks I was appointed of. The contract has been renewed three times. Now I have received a letter by which I was informed that the contract will not be renewed again.
Can I do something to prevent my employer from ending the labour relationship?

Who is writing declares, wrongly, to have been employed with a temporary labour contract, in stead of having signed a project-bound labour contract. Even if, sometimes, the way of performing the working activities is, in the two contracts, very similar, the two matters in question are very different.
The consultant, considering correct the pieces of information received by the client, will provide him with an advice that will not be fully applicable to the situation in which he finds himself.

I am working for XXXXX on the base of a project-bound labour contract signed in 2006. Performing my labour duties I had to observe specific working hours (including shifts), and to carry out the assignments and tasks I was, from time to time, appointed of.
The contract has been renewed three times (the projects stated in the contracts were different from the activities I had affectively to carry out). Now I have received a letter in which they inform me that they will not renew the contract again.
Can I do something to prevent my employer from ending the labour relationship?

In this case the situation is reported correctly, and the consultant can provide an advice that will effectively be useful.

I want to purchase a flat in XXXXXX, XXXXXX street. I have agreed the price in Euro 250.000. The completion shall be performed within XX/XX/XXXX. I want to buy the property free from encumbrances. The land registry data of the flat are XXXXX XXXX XXXX.
I need that you provide me with the preliminary contract.

The writer omit to declare a lot of details that are fundamental to prepare the contract he requests. Neither the name of the owner, nor the characteristics of the flat are mentioned. He does not say either that the flat is actually let, or that he shall request a mortgage to buy the flat. Finally on the property has been presented a request for an amending building concession, that has not been released yet.
All the said details are necessary to our consultants to prepare a contract able to protect as well as possible the interests of the client.
